    That’s a fantastic idea!!! I will use that! I love sparkling wine. I love that crisp tartness with the carbonation. And I think this Apple cranberry will be a great candidate for my experiment!

    I still have the fruit in mine. I’ve been punching down the cap twice a day. Added a 1/2 cup sugar last night and it is delicious!

    Ginger is one of those spices that can overtake a dish or drink, so if it was my wine I would taste every day and pull that ginger out early when it starts becoming prevalent in the flavors.

    Whiskey Wish Wine

    I’m new to wine making and two of my batches had such high alcohol levels that they burned going down like a whisky!! I sweetened them to ease the burn and bottled them. I’m hoping with a little aging they will be delicious!
